Tiny Paper House Tutorial with Photo Corners Shingles

Hello, It’s Judy, and today I have a tutorial for this adorable tiny paper house! But first, see those shingles? They’re actually Creative Photo Corners! Because they are self-adhesive and the perfect size, it’s easy to arrange and fasten them to the roof.

Tiny House Instructions:

To make this little house, I die cut the pieces from brown file folder. The house parts are embossed before cutting to create the look of vertical siding. To add color to the house, fence, step and base, I used Distress Oxide inks.

The window frames are glued in place with the HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen. The fine tip makes it easy to apply to such tiny pieces. Glue the door in place and then assemble the house walls.

The shingles are the Kraft colored Creative Photo Corners. They have adhesive on the back side, which makes it easy to position and layer on the roof. The Creative Photo Corners have a subtle embossed pattern on them, which adds to the look of the roof.

Start by off-setting the Photo Corners and then lap them. Trim the edges along the roof edges for a clean line. Repeat the process on the house roof and smaller roof.

Embellishing the front of the tiny house

The pumpkins are some tiny seed pods in a bag of potpourri and fastened in place with a combination of Dodz Adhesive Dots Small and Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini. A tiny handwritten sign hangs on the fence. I found a small lilac branch to make a bare tree with air dry clay base.
